1. Since I fell in love, my eyes know no rest
Will my eyelids ever again be at peace?

2. My love bears witness to my gauntness
And my tears and throbbing heart

3. By my life, no sword in battle
Wreaks such havoc as my ailing eyes

4. My heart is pleased with so-and-so
He was unruly, feared by meadows

5. The full moon has set my heart on fire
With sparks that make my torment plain

6. A crescent appeared on a branch
Sportively, with charm and coyness

7. The glowing lily and the rose
Have sprouted on my cheek for my lover who bites

8. And my whole heart is afire
Though once it was devout and ascetic

9. Tell him of my love, though mischief
Has toyed with my head and humbled my pride

10. After the nights had their way
With my youth and brought its ruin

11. To God I complain of my endless longing
My estrangement and a stranger's life

12. Most cruel is that my daily bread
Comes through imposing on the Divine

13. When there is no curer for my grave condition
No mender or soother of my plight

14. The days have become like a flash of lightning
With no gains for those who aspire
